At only three years old, Tuxey suddenly got sick one day and within hours was gone. We never found out what happened to him and to this day our hearts are broken.

Buddy Ditzmore was my cat from 6 weeks until he died at 15. He was a special needs cat – diabetes requiring insulin two times a day at the age of 9, respiratory issues at 12, and inflammatory bowel disease which ultimately claimed his life. I miss him terribly in the two weeks since he left me, and I wish to honor his memory by supporting other cats who have special needs, and have found their way to HFL. –A. LEE MERRICK
